This Thawed Heart - Jes Drew

She’s a rebel with a cause.

He represents everything she’s fighting against.

But they need each other to survive the land of endless winter.

Gerta was raised wild and free in the winter tundra, and she will fight to remain free of the foreign oppressors alongside her clan. When the Empire sends a new garrison to the fortress, Gerta and her clan are ready to teach them a lesson. But they are unprepared for just what kind of garrison has come.

Kay was trained to bring law and order to the far corners of the Empire. Newly appointed to lead the Emperor’s finest, his first assignment is to handle the clan causing trouble with the northern fortresses. But he is unprepared for the wild woman determined to make him regret ever laying his eyes on her.

But the tundra is a treacherous to all, citizen or foreigner. When a terrible storm separates both captain and captive from the rest of their company, the pair have no choice but to rely on each other if they want to survive. But there is a greater enemy to fear than two souls on opposite sides of a territory line or even a merciless landscape. After all, the Queen of Winter is said to prowl the north, hunting for hearts to make her own . . .
